A very belated happy new year to everyone!

The holidays went well. First time I can remember that Christmas was just me and my parents. Stress-free! We’d planned on decorating their tree, but it ended-up being bare, with lights and a couple of bows thrown on it, lol! I think I ate pretty much the entire time I was with them. I must have put on 10lbs. Ten. Solid. Pounds. It was SO worth it though!

My visit with them lasted a week and I had a thoroughly good time. I was really happy to get home though. The ride-share lot at LAX worked out really well for me on the way home. The walk from my terminal only took a couple of minutes and my car showed shortly after I requested it. Luckily, while it had been raining earlier, it stopped right before we landed, so I was able to stay dry during my wait. When I got home, I looked to the north and saw the foothills dusted with snow. It looked so pretty with my Christmas lights!

I was sad to take my decorations down, they made my place look so sparkly and homey. Putting everything back into their boxes was a little depressing.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve been really tired the last couple of weeks. I’m thankful for this long weekend, it gives me an extra day to play with my cat, bake stuff, cook my white bean chili, run my errands and maybe lay around!

I didn’t have any resolutions to start the year, but my fat ass needs to get to the gym, lol! I can’t think of the last time I went! That extra Christmas weight is still hanging on! I don’t want to get crazy or anything, maybe just start back on the treadmill and, if I’m feeling it, work my arms.

Not much else is going on, so I really have no excuse!

I’ll check back in later. Happy Friday!!
